Would you rehab this bag??

[Catbird9]

I would . . , reminiscing, I saw an even more distressed Pocket Bag (but for way more $ than I thought was prudent to spend) a few years ago that made me what to get a bag like this and rehab it. I settled on an inexpensive distressed BT City Bag.

I would, but not at that price.

Who needs a rehab pile? These are beaters! https://www.ebay.com/itm/Vintage-Co...272540?hash=item3fce7d865c:g:IS0AAOSwl8Vdn9nf

Do you think this Mini Borough Bag is worth a rehab: https://poshmark.com/listing/COACH-NEW-YORK-32503-mini-Borough-Carryall-5ce433fd26219f1601ad35b9
I'm not sure if I can get away with a good clean/bath and intensive conditioning? I'm especially worried about the scratches at the front (see last picture). What do you think?

First of all, get it authenticated. Newer bags don't rehab like vintage. The leather is completely different, plus being lined changes things. I believe the color on this doesn't go deep so it may not be restored by conditioning.

Thank you, whateve! I'll follow your advice! See you over there!

If it wasn't for the cracked strap, and the twisted broken handle, and it looking like if it touches water it's going to disintegrate. Maybe. Lol.

Very overpriced for the condition it's in. For $20 I'd go for it.

On the plus side, the hang tag looks good.

Yes, it’s a lot for a hang tag!

If you like a small bag, and assuming there is an authentic Creed inside as well as no other surprises inside, on the sides and bottom (and I would contact the seller and ask), this looks like it would lend itself to a nicely distressed look with some conditioning. Might be an NYC!

This poor Made in New York City brown Basic Bag with glued-in serial number has really had a rough life, But it still has the strap and the hangtag!

There’s a bid! God bless that ambition.

The Bridget Legacy is one of my favorites but this poor bag looks like someone ran over it with a car:
